Matthew Pitt

Matthew Pitt is a poker enthusiast hailing from Leeds, West Yorkshire.

His poker career started when he broke his arm in a motorcycle accident and saw an advert in a shopping centre’s toilet, of all places, for online poker! After quickly losing his initial two deposits he decided to study the game in an attempt to give himself an edge over his opponents.

Since then he has played almost all forms and variants of poker but now prefers short-handed No-limit Hold'em cash games and full ring multi-table tournaments.

When he isn't playing poker he can be found writing news and strategy articles along with reporting on various major European-based poker tours.
